Large animations can easily be highly distractive for folks with . Being able to pause them individually doesn't make things much better, especially if reloading the page starts them all over again.

It's really disappointing to see a design-focused company like use that type of purely gratuitous graphics on their conference website, and do so without offering a way to disable them all at once across the site.

That’s a sad lack of consideration for true . 🙁🤨🤬

@jochenwolters Tangentially, you might be interested to read about the cognitive load theory around this issue -- https://www.tpgi.com/the-impact-of-motion-animation-on-cognitive-disability/

@jochenwolters If they've implemented it properly (via prefers-reduced-motion media query) then you can filter them out at the system level.

@jochenwolters I just checked https://config.figma.com/ using MacOS with the "Reduce motion" setting, and they have done it correctly -- the animations are gone. (At least by default, though they still happen if you hover, so they've got it half right lol)
